HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) --

A 12-year-old girl has identified the man she said exposed himself to her last week.

Manuel Rodriguez Jr., 36, appeared in court on Wednesday morning. He is charged with felony indecency-child exposure.

Because Rodriguez has not yet hired a lawyer, his case has been reset. The court has ordered that he not have contact with the victim or any other children under 17 years of age.

Houston police responded to a report of public lewdness last Wednesday afternoon. The 12-year-old girl said she was walking on the sidewalk across from Sam Houston High School when a man in a silver Honda pulled up next to her.
